The NBA Live 18 demo is noteworthy because it represents the first time the NBA Live franchise has allowed players to start their career in a demo version of a game, then carry over any progress they make to the eventual retail release.
In the demo, players can become familiar with The Rise, the prologue to a new mode known as The One.
If you have an active Xbox Live Gold or a PlayStation Plus account, you can begin playing the NBA Live 18 free demo on August 11, 2017.
NBA Live 18 was developed by the team at EA Tiburon, and will reach Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on September 15, 2017.
